Ingredients
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chopped dates
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 eggs
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking, powder, dates, salt, and nuts.
- Add eggs. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Spread into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, cut into small squares.

Notes
- Mixing the batter does require a bit of effort. Because there's very little liquid or fat in the recipe, the dough is fairly stiff. You can mix this in a stand mixer or a food processor if you like.

- Store in an airtight container (a plastic container with a tight fitting lid works best) at room temperature for about a week.
- May be frozen in a freezer-safe plastic container for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before adding confectioner's sugar and serving.
